The US and the EU seek to arm Kyiv better, and Estonia will spend 0.25% of its GDP on military aid for Ukraine for four years.

White House representatives met with technology and defense industry leaders to discuss support for Ukraine’s access to advanced American military technologies. The US President’s National Security Adviser, Jake Sullivan, convened the meeting to “increase focus on helping Ukraine overcome key technological challenges that are holding back progress and momentum on the battlefield.”

In turn, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called on other EU countries to provide greater military support to Ukraine this year. In his opinion, the planned deliveries of supplies for this period of time are too small. Scholz believes that by the next summit on February 1, the EU should have the most accurate idea of what contribution European partners will make to support Ukraine this year.

Meanwhile, Estonia plans to provide military support to Ukraine amounting to 0.25% of its GDP over the next four years. Also, the country will provide Ukraine with €14M per year for reconstruction and related projects in the coming years.
